Just a month after release, the Canon EOS RP's sales have taken a nosedive in Japan – despite it being the country where compact mirrorless products, including Canon's M-series cameras, have proved the most successful. 

The report (hat tip to Canon News) comes courtesy of a story by BCN+R, a Japanese organization that aggregates point of sale data from the nation's retailers. The outlet illustrates the Canon EOS RP's sales information with an alarming graph, demonstrating the nosedive after just a month on sale.
